Pros

Smart, passionate co-workers who really believe in open source. Very mission-driven! A lot of collaboration

Cons

New CFO is wiping out all the US Finance department & shipping their jobs to India. I don't work in Finance, but it's very disheartening to see our long-timers kicked out the door.

Pros

Extremely talented and motivated people Great product and ecosystem around Kubernetes

Cons

Bluewashing is real. After 4 years past acquisition it is not Open Decision company anymore. There is no clear communication about the direction where the company goes, some departments were moved to IBM without clear explanation why. Promotion process that was clear before is gone, and now your salary increase or promotion are directly depend on your relationship with the manager and not from your contribution to the team or the product.
